Add more Filters
I was caching with a iPhone/Cachly user recently and they had an amazing list of filters in that app. Here are some screenshots from Cachly:
We were in an area with a lot of hides by two geocachers and we were struggling with finding their caches. So we used the filters in Cachly to exclude their caches to figure out where we could go next to avoid most of their caches.
It would be nice to see some/all of these filters in GCDroid (those that don't already exist)

Filter on attributes
Attributes are important info about caches and it should be possible to filter caches based on these. Both positive and negative attributes should be considered. And it should also be possible to filter based on their presence or not.
1. Show all caches with "tree climbing" attribute
2. Show all caches with "not tree climbing" attribute
3. Show all caches without "tree climbing" attribute
4. Show all caches without "not tree climbing" attribute

filters would need complete rework in terms of design... attribute list is crazy long and would not work well with design as it is.
one can imagine endless ideas....
lets call all attributes of a cache A1...An and the rest are Am....Az
A1 present AND NOT Az
A1 OR A2 present
A1 AND A2 present
generally filtering is a basic task and as such I could filter anything you can dream of.
Bigger challenge is to present that filter in a UI so that the user can configure it....
That being said: I really want to add it...

Read corrected coordinates from Cache notes
At least Project-GC, Neongeo and C:geo parses the Personal cache note for coordinates. Since Neongeo and C:geo was ahead of Project-GC on this, Project-GC copied their behavior. If there are multiple coordinates, the first one is used. If there is also a "real" corrected coordinate, that one has precedence.

Drafts und Logs sollten vor dem hochladen noch bearbeitet werden können, um noch Anmerkungen beizufügen
Wenn vorgefertigte Entwürfe und Logs verwendet werden, können diese nicht mehr bearbeitet werden, vor dem hochladen. Wäre aber oft sinnvoll wenn für einen einzelnen Cache etwas angemerkt werden soll.

proximity alerts
It would be great to get a proximity alert of a distance to a cache. Like vibrating or audible whether going to a selected cache or just driving around and randomly alerted to a nearby cache. Especially useful when you are in a new town on business or vacation.

Child waypoints of all (or selected) caches in DB to be shown on the map.
There are caches with stages placed over a large area (e.g. GC892EG). It would be great if I could see these stages on the map once I am caching in the region to visit these stages (and not to forget to visit them and take a picture there). I imagine a switch that would enable all waypoints of the caches in the database to be shown in the map in one time. Would you find it useful?

Indicator for active Map
Would be nice to see, which Map is in use.
Maybe with a dot in front or something like that.

Combine Live map and Offline map
I don't see any real reason (besides technical) for the user to have one Offline map and one Live map. In C:geo you choose a database and then you can turn on Live on the "offline map" as well. The offline stored geocaches have a visual indicator of this.
I would like a similar behavior in GCDroid, using one map only. Most of the time when traveling we work from an offline list/database produced from Project-GC (a GPX). In many cases logging one of those geocaches requires quite a walk. It would then be nice to on the same map, load whatever geocaches we actually are walking past, so that we can log these on our way. Today it's a lot of flipping between maps.
I therefore suggest that the "Live-button" is added to the Offline maps as well. I would prefer it with three states actually:
* Live enabled (loading caches, just as Live map works)
* Live disabled (not loading caches, just as Live map works when button is disabled)
* Live caches hidden (don't show the live caches, to reduce the noice, they are still kept in the live sqlite database)
